Andrew also explains talks about the new House Speaker and whether Mike Johnson's appointment lowers the risk of a US government shutdown next month.

Deputy Chief Markets Economist Jonas Goltermann tells David why there hasn’t been a greater negative reaction and talks about what recent history has to say about the impact of geopolitical events like these on asset prices.
